Champagne Lucien Roguet - Brut Tradition

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020

(around 17 euros per bottle)

Neat, sober and bright presentation. Label printed in relief.

Aspect:

Golden.

Refined bubbles.

Fine bead of foam, regular and persistent.

Nose:

Generous intensity, source of beautiful emotions.

The aromas of red and black fruits gently mingle with scents of citrus fruits, white fruits and exotic fruits, highlighted by a mentholated breath, delicious characteristic signs of the blending of the 3 varietals (Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay).

Later, the gentle notes of gingerbread and almond, delicately roasted, reveal the maturity obtained by the patient ageing on laths (minimum 2 years) of the champagne, fed by the autolysis of the prise de mousse yeasts.

Palate:

Joyful vitality at the opening, thanks to the rigorous selection of the cuvée, first juices which flow during the soft pressing of the grapes, supported by the minerality of the chalk of the terroir of Mailly-Champagne.

We find again the red fruits already perceived at the nose, underlined by the creamy effervescence.

Lively finish, driven by subtle spices, definitely thanks to the ageing in barrels of 25% of the reserve wines but also of the base wine of Chardonnay used for the production of expedition liqueur.

Great length on the palate. 

With this Brut Tradition, Samuel Roguet offers us a radiant champagne, real delicacy, outstanding signature of the Champagne house Lucien Roguet.

Champagne for all occasions, with a fine tart and boletus, for example.

Wine growers from father to son since 1870, the Champagne house Lucien Roguet has been perpetuating with passion the champenois traditions in the heart of the Mountain of Reims. Nowadays, Samuel Roguet presides over the destiny of the house and cultivates with passion, in the greatest respect of the environment, the 7 hectares of vines of the wine estate, planted with the 3 champenois varietals (Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay) exclusively in the Grand Cru of Mailly-Champagne, to compose each year with talent, around 45,000 bottles of heady champagnes, with a confident style.
